not a single member on this board that matters thinks Dane is a pedophile

and even I was on Dane's side when it came to R8ers being a focking moron.

but Dane is just being a crybaby bitch because he's not getting his way...period. He is all about status and he's pissed his "status" on CP can't get some loser nobody like R8ers banned...

Dane can't complain about any name calling, ever...and he just looks like a moron every time he does.

That would be like YOU complaining about someone calling you a horse ****er.

I'm constructing the framework for an argument using prison as an analogy. It was tongue in cheek, but I'm not surprised that went over your head, given that the extent of your reading comes on a white board that gives the day's specials.

the way Dane conducted himself on this board the past year makes him one of the most pathetic people I've ever came across in my life...

I have no doubt in my mind that he's an intelligent, successful (money wise) guy. None.

However, he's very insecure. Very, very insecure.

I can promise everyone on this board that, if I ever find great success you'll never see me act the way he does. It's ridiculous. From crying about Buster Hymen threatening to beat him up, to R8ers calling him a pedophile...the man has some serious issues, and his conduct on this board makes that quite clear.

This message board has always been the wild west. Everyone's line as far as what is acceptable and what isn't is different. But community-wide the following seem to be acceptable:

1. assigning an untrue sexual orientation
2. indicating that someone would have sexual relations with their own mother or other family member
3. indicating that someone would have sexual relations with a different species
4. indicating that someone would have sexual relations with a dead person

Calling someone a pedophile is a worse than the above, but not greatly so.

In general, the insults of the types listed below do not materially damage the reputation of the person at which they are thrown because they are recognized as insults.

In a just system, rules are applied uniformly regardless of the popularity of the conflicted parties.

Dane is a good poster, and I will miss his contributions. But I don't think the mods acted incorrectly, given the community standards of this board.

there both just verbal slurs, and both are understood as such...neither are statements about an objective reality

you stupid ****ing pedophile

Yeah, I tend to lean that way. Like I said, I agree that it's probably borderline, and I'd probably have done something about it had it gone on for more than a few pages of a thread. However, it's not like he was saying "I have a picture in my possession of Dane butt ****ing a little kid" or anything. No one seriously thought Dane was a pedophile.
